Will this skim the surface of the pool also, having issues with tiny bugs and small leaves just floating for days before sinking.

No this is just for the bottom , However it works real well I was very pleased

Actually, I turn this over and float it along the top of the pool. The jets pull leaves off the top very nicely. You just have to get the right angle. Its not worth it to hook it up JUST to skim the top but when I am cleaning the bottom of my pool, I finish off the top this way.

I have a 27 foot round pool. I always have my filter running when I use the Rover, and have never saw it get moved around. It is extremely heavy once it fills up with water, which is what makes it sink to the bottom of the pool and not float back up. I have a pretty hard time getting it pulled back up and over the side of the pool when it's finished, especially if it's full of leaves too.

Doing great so far on my pebble tec in-ground pool. Still need to brush steps, but other than that the pool is free of algae or debris.

we do. if you don't, the water will get yucky. you also have to skim stuff such as leaves, bugs, etc, off the top with a net, so keeping it covered when not in use lessens the amount of time having to do that. you also have to vacuum the bottom periodically. but all in all it is very little maintenance and worth it for the pleasure of the pool!

Works well in our pool. We don't have any wrinkles on the bottom, but it uses water squirting from the Polaris to force loose debris into the attached bag. Great for leaves, hair, insects, etc. It will not lift or scrub any mold or algae from the pool.

My only concern would be with the decreased volume of water, there may be some bleaching of the liner if the float stays in one place.

It will not adhere long term. If you apply it when the liner is dry it will hold. Eventually any it will slowly start pealing away once the water is in the pool.

Jim, mine is on the vacuum line to the pool sweep. It gets anything on the bottom including bugs. The skimmer gets anything floating on the surface. Charlie K. Anaheim Ca.

My pool has steps and a large deck or shallow area and the the Poolcleaner does not get stuck. It moves randomly and spins around on its own so it should work for you as well.

The only thing I can think of to try is Clear Gorilla Tape.. that stuff is strong.. I have used it for pool floats and it works

Answer here...the pool skim has to be connected to a return line not a suction line.

If the bugs float to the bottom, it will get them. I have a crazy millipede problem in my back yard and they all seem to like to jump in the pool and die. That is what prompted me to get the auto pool cleaner in the first place. This canister traps them.

Quite the opposite. Most of the larger debris (leaves, bugs, etc.) will end up in the poolskim bag, so your existing skimmer will have less debris which has the added benefit of less frequent cleaning of your DE filter.

There is a valve on the end of the small line coming out of the foam inlet. You can adjust the flow there and it will help with the micro bubbles. I find mine works best and skims awesome if part of the foam inlet is sticking out of the water! I never got any skimming by completely submerging the foam inlet, but if part of it sticks out of the water it skims like crazy. The key is getting the little valve adjusted just right for it to pull enough to skim without the micro bubbles. Keep adjusting and it will work I promise !

It has done a decent job with leaves. I close up my pool before the acorns start falling, so I haven't really tested that aspect out yet.

Our cover is on a reel at the deep end of our pool so as we roll it up we can pick any leaves or sticks off. What little that does get in the pool we just skim off. Plus we really don't get very much in the pool area...lucky us!

Yes...our pool has constant debris from the woods that we live in and this stuff is absolutely great for our pool. Some people may not have as much organic material to deal with and may not have such raving reviews about this product, but our pool seems to like it!! You do have to vaccuum a couple of times a week though until your pool is clear.
